Smart Lighting

Make relaxing at home that little bit easier with this EZVIZ smart bulb. You can use your mobile or tablet to control it wirelessly, so there’s no need to get off the sofa. And it produces a bright white light that will clearly illuminate the room you have it in, or you can dim the brightness if you want a cosy evening in. It also has a screw fitting, and with a 15,000our lifespan, you won’t need to think about replacing it for a long time. Plus, the timer means you can choose when it comes on, so you can use it to gently wake you up in the morning.

Add a little convenience around the home with this smart lighting mini starter kit from Philips Hue, which includes two bayonet-fitting smart bulbs and a Philips Bridge smart hub. You can use your smart device to wirelessly control it, so you can turn the lights on and off from any room. Plus, with a 25,000 hour lifespan, you won’t have to dash to the shops to buy replacements any time soon. If you fancy a gentle wake up call, you can schedule the lights to come on when you want in the morning and it’s also great when you’re away, which lets you make it look like someone is home. You can even dim the lights too when you want to create the perfect atmosphere for a movie night.

Set the scene for movie night with this EZVIZ smart bulb. Already sitting comfortably? Simply use your smartphone to turn it on. Its white light will brighten up any room it’s in, so you won’t miss that bag of popcorn sitting at your feet, and you can even dim it when the opening credits start rolling. And if you’re the sort that’s always drifting off before the film’s finished, you can set a timer to turn the light back on to gently wake you at the end.
